New Album

2010-11-24T17:57:00.000-08:00

Hi Everyone,
The new Album is going to be phenomenal. I'm so excited about each and every song. You all will be pleasantly surprised. Working on date and time to be held for auditions for the video for the first single that will be released. Beaufort, SC has been a great inspiration in the creative process. I have met some great people thus far. My friends and family have also been so supportive and helpful in the creativity of this album. It's definitely been a family affair.

Upward & Beyond.

Internationally Known.

Me and My Mic.....

I'm working on new music and the creativity is really starting to flow. This album will be very eclectic in it's sounds, lyrics and total content. I've been thru so much these past couple of years and it will definitely reflect that. I will also have more collabs than ever before.. So I'm super excited.
Smooches-

Lemons for the Militant Diva (pucker up)

2010-08-24T06:43:00.000-07:00

So occasionally life throws you a lemon or two, maybe even a whole slew, but the result of the flavor of the Lemonade is totally up to you.

Right now I'm wading around in Lemons up to my eyeballs, but guess what, The Juice is gonna be ohhh so sweet.

Instead of allowing the acid from the lemons to burn my eyes, I will take that acid and rub it on my thighs.

I'm gonna make some good ole Southern Syrupy Sweet Twangy Lemonade like I've never had before and if you're a true friend you're welcome to share a glass with me on the Front Porch. (Southern Style) Perhaps we could have a Mint Julip with Lemon on the Side :=)

I refuse to buckle and wallow in this temporary lapse of SourNess, because GOD has something so wonderful in store for me that makes me wanna Scream & Shout to the top of my lungs.... SATAN you have not, cannot, will not, shall not EVER WIN!!!!!!!

Have a Sip?
Smooches....Mahoganee

Okay, so I was getting breakfast at L'EnFant Plaza this morning and I noticed this can on the counter near the register. The owners are oriental so maybe they just didn't know any better. I'm pretty sure that the organizations for the mentally challenged or handicapped would not appreciate that. It's just not right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did he lose someone close to him? Is this the result of bad choices? So many questions, so many answers, so many lives....

Please visit my Facebook page for Official Pictures for the Harriets Girls, 2009 Mission Trip to Trinidad & Tobago. We had a wonderful time. This was my first International trip & I was blown away. The children were beautiful & amazing. It was very evident that we are the same all over the world. When you look at some of the pictures you can't tell who is in Harriet's Girls and who was at the orphanage. There was several incidents where I went to my room at night and cried and realized how blessed we are in America and don't even realize it.

Secretary of The Arts for the US

2009-01-12T17:00:00.000-08:00

Divaz & Gentz

Quincy Jones has started a petition to ask President-Elect Obama to appoint a Secretary of the Arts. While many other countries have had Ministers of Art or Culture for centuries, The United States has never created such a position. Those in the arts need this and our country needs the arts now more than ever.

I have just read and signed the online petition:

"Secretary of the Arts"

hosted on the web by PetitionOnLine.com, the free online petition
service at:

http://www.PetitionOnline.com/esnyc/

I personally agree with what this petition says, and I think you might
agree, too. If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and consider signing yourself.
Please, pass it on, this would be great to have a voice that actually cares about the arts in a Government position.
Best wishes,

Mahoganee

Thanks DJ Earth1ne..

Miriam Makeba 1932-2008

2008-11-11T05:04:00.001-08:00

Miriam Makeba, the musical symbol of black South Africans' struggle against apartheid, has died at the age of 76 after collapsing at a concert in Italy.

Nelson Mandela led tributes Monday to the singer who had international hits with songs such as "Pata Pata" and "The Click Song" while she was banned from entering her homeland.
"She was South Africa's first lady of song and so richly deserved the title of Mama Africa. She was a mother to our struggle and to the young nation of ours," Mandela said.
Ever the activist, Makeba collapsed Sunday after singing in support of an Italian author facing Mafia death threats. She was treated while the audience shouted for an encore but died in hospital from a heart attack, officials said.
Born in Johannesburg on March 4, 1932, Makeba became one of Africa's best known singers and while Mandela was in prison took up the battle against apartheid through her music.
South Africa revoked her citizenship in 1960 and refused to let her return for her mother's funeral. Makeba spent more than three decades in exile, living in the United States, Guinea and Europe.
Her music was outlawed in her homeland after she appeared in an anti-apartheid film. But she was an international success, winning a Grammy award for Best Folk Recording with US singer Harry Belafonte in 1965 for the album "An Evening With Belafonte/Makeba".
"I kept my culture. I kept the music of my roots," she said in her biography. "Through my music I became this voice and image of Africa, and the people, without even realising."
But she also met controversy abroad. The third of her five marriages -- to civil rights activist and Black Panthers leader Stokely Carmichael in 1968 -- provoked anger in the United States and some of her concerts and contracts were cancelled.
She was also briefly married to trumpeter Hugh Masekela, another famous South African artist who spent long years in exile under apartheid.
Makeba was the daughter of a Swazi mother and Xhosa father.
She started singing professionally in the early 1950s with a group called The Manhattan Brothers, with whom she toured the United States in 1959.
Her career at home took off in the same year when she appeared in a musical version of the film "King Kong". She also made a brief appearance in an early anti-apartheid film "Come Back, Africa" which earned an invitation to pick up an award at the Venice film festival.
Once there however, it became clear that her life would be in danger if she went home, where harsh apartheid laws had been enacted in 1958. South African authorities revoked her citizenship.
Makeba had her biggest hit in 1967 with "Pata Pata" -- Xhosa for "Touch Touch", describing a township dance -- but unwittingly had signed away all royalties on the song.
She was often short of money and could not afford a coffin when her only daughter, Bondi, died aged 36 in 1985. She buried her alone, barring a handful of journalists from covering the funeral.
According to her biography, she also battled cervical cancer and a string of unhappy relationships. She denied rumours of alcoholism.
While she was still in enforced exile, she performed with Paul Simon in the US singer's 1987 "Graceland" concert in Zimbabwe, neighbouring South Africa.
She finally returned to her homeland in the 1990s after Mandela was released from prison and the apartheid system began to collapse.
It took six years to find someone in South Africa to produce a record with her. She entitled it "Homeland".
Tributes poured in both in her native country and from across Africa following her death.
South Africa's ruling African National Congress, which spearheaded the anti-apartheid struggle, hailed her musical contribution to the fight against the white-minority government.
"Miriam Makeba used her voice, not merely to entertain, but to give a voice to the millions of oppressed South Africans under the yoke of apartheid," said party leader Jacob Zuma.
Senegalese singer Youssou Ndour, one of the world's best-known African artists, called her death "a great loss for Africa, for African music and all music."
Sunday's benefit concert was at Castel Volturno, near Naples, to support Roberto Saviano, author of the best-selling Mafia expose "Gomorrah."
Makeba was last on stage, performing for the 1,000 crowd for half an hour before collapsing, according to an AFP photographer at the concert in the town considered a stronghold of the Camorra mafia.

The Real DM

My Heartbeat, My Inspiration, My Hero, My Role Model, My Momma. I miss my momma more everyday. To not be able to pick up the phone & call her to tell my good news or just to hear her voice is such a tragedy. That scarf she's wearing was her favorite and now it's mine. I would always take her a scarf or a pin when I visited her or I'd put it in the mail because that's what she liked (scarfs & pins). The reason I love hats & jewelry is because I learned it from her. She had such style & good taste. She was such a D.I.V.A. I miss talkin to her every morning or at some point during the day. For the last 3 years of her life we grew so much closer and I thank God for that. All of her kids and family were with her that weekend before she passed away and I know she was happy. Her grandkids were there, even some of her greatgrands. My mom really taught me about entrepreneurship at a very young age. I never saw my mom work for anybody but herself. She had her beauty salon in the back of our house. She was a wonderful seamstress and opened up her own shop selling her very own handmade silk bedding & lingerie. She even sold Mary Kay for a while. I just remember her always being there when I woke up in the middle of the night, or when I was getting ready for school and when I came home everyday she was there. I love You Mommy & there ain't nothin you can do about it.... Smooches -Your Daily Diva Dose

HELLO EVERYONE, as most of you all know I am an avid supporter of Harriets Girls in every way possible. I'm calling on all my friends, fellow artists and associates to help us make this trip a phenomenal success. In the past two years the girls have gone to the Dominican Republic and Jamaica. Next year (2009) we're preparing for two trips (Trinidad & Belize). It is imperative that we show our youth the world outside of their comfort zones in America.

The tickets are on sale for our first fundraising event! We need your support to assist the girls in making a positive impact in the lives of those who are in NEED. We have had two successful summers learning, giving, loving, and sharing with our sisters and brothers abroad. So, please support us as we prepare for our All Girls Mission Trip to Trinidad and our first Christian Family Mission Trip to Belize.

Stefanie is President & Founder of "Young Women of Distinction" & Sabrina is CEO & Co-Founder of "Hip-Hop Education, Inc." Thank you ladies. I also ran into Ms. Ronique Marshall Co-Star, Keyshia Cole's Reality Show (BET) as she was on her way out the door and had the opportunity to speak with her for a few brief seconds. She was very kind and soft-spoken but courageous nonetheless. What a courageous story and such a beautiful spirit. Also had a chance to converse with the ladies of "Success In Style" and find out about the wonderful work that they are doing in their communities. They provide free business attire to low-income women who are seeking employment. It was a pleasure meeting you ladies. Also Smooches to "Charity's Closet".

Wow, my heart goes out to Jennifer Hudson, I just heard from my sister that her mother & brother were murdered. I can't even imagine what she is going thru. I'm in shock & as a fellow artist & sister I will pray for her. Losing your mother is tough enough but to lose your mother by another's hands is mindboggling. I am still dealing with the loss of my mother & she died in her sleep how do you cope with something like this.
